Boynton Beach man faces federal charges

A Boynton Beach man said he robbed a bank because he "had a couple of hours free," according to the FBI.

Francisco Corchado currently faces federal charges of bank robbery. Authorities said he robbed the TD Bank branch on Boynton Beach Boulevard last Thursday.

According to the criminal complaint, Corchado walked into the bank and handed a note to the teller demanding money. He got away with a bag full of $912 in cash.

A witness saw Corchado escape and reported his license plate number, according to the complaint.

Investigators said when they tracked Corchado down a short time later, he told them he was supposed to pick up his girlfriend's daughter at school, and "since he had a couple of hours free, he decided to drive around and look for a bank to rob. He said he had been thinking about robbing a bank for a few days."

Corchado also told authorities his rent was due that day and he didn't have the money, so he decided that robbing a bank was his best option, according to the complaint.
